"Unread: -1" in thunderbird

Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

Odd.

In the bottom right of Thunderbird there's a little thing saying how many unread mails you have, and how many in total.

When I click on the root 'folder' (above inbox) for my account in Thunderbird the unread and the total amount of emails shows -1.

Though when I go into a sub-folder normality is resumed.

It seems I need to receive and email to have an empty inbox. ;)

Hello Matt,

Thank you for the bug report, May I ask you how many emails you have to have in your inbox for this to happen?

Also is this an IMAP or POP Account? I cannot seem to reproduce it on either set-up, I have tried with both types with and without emails within the Inbox with no luck..

Thanks, Alex.

Hi,
Thanks for the response.

I have lots of emails in various sub-folders, but the part that I click on to get the unread mail to show -1 doesn't contain mail itself. It's the name of my mail profile.

If it doesn't work first time click onto a sub-folder and then click back onto the profile name and it should appear. I'm using POP3 by the way.

Cheers,
Matt

Have you upgraded to Feisty and if so are you still getting this problem?
